Please take a close look at this chrysanthemum lace bug. With the unaided eye, it looks like a speck of something that sluffed off a plant, sitting on the leaf. If you take a 5x magnification lens and finally manage to get a sharp picture of it (or at least acceptably so), it’s amazing what you see. Notice the intricate, beautiful details in this almost microscopic insect. Why?

I leave that to you.

A Book is Coming

I hope to be soon publishing a book on Amazon in hardback and paperback plus Kindle formats. It will be about 50 photos of dragonflies and damselflies.

There will be an announcement of its availability here when the availability becomes available.

The title will be, God’s Flying Jewels.

It will even include a poem I wrote on the last page.

This was cheaper than paying the publisher $5,900 for a pre-launch campaign, now, wasn’t it?
